American Old Time Song Lyrics: 35 Darling Minnie Lee
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 35
DARLING MINNIE LEE.
Where the violets are blooming, smiling in the gentle breeze.
And the zephyrs sing sweet songs, as they flit among the trees;
Where the merry songsters warble from the morn till shades of night,
There we laid our darling Minnie, evermore from mortal sight.
Chorus.
Where the merry songsters warble, from the morn till shades of night,
There we laid our darling Minnie, evermore from mortal sight.
Death has robbed as of our treasure, and the angels have her now.
Where no shade of pain or sorrow comes to cloud our darling's brow;
O'er her grave the birds are sinking, in the sunlight, sweet and free;
But they cannot bring our loved one back to us, sweet Minnie Lee.-Chorus.
